The Man’s Decree

The streets of Beast City lay in a heavy silence under the veil of night. Every house had its doors tightly shut, the occupants seemingly wary of what might lurk in the quiet darkness.

Every so often, the steady footsteps of patrolling guards echoed through the streets, cutting through the tranquility. The city itself seemed to sleep like a predatory beast, its dormant power ominous, ready to surface at any moment.

But the stillness didn’t last. A group of figures suddenly appeared on the street, their movements erratic and their voices loud, clearly disrupting the quiet. The men staggered as they walked, drunk and oblivious to the tension of the night.

One of them laughed uproariously. “Mr. Niel, the girl today was something else. And not just in looks-her talents were impressive too! She’s the type only someone like you deserves!”

“Of course! Do you even need to say it? Niel could take on more than one at a time without breaking a sweat!” another chimed in, prompting a chorus of drunken laughter.

“I still remember when Niel got involved with that girl in the Ultimate Realm. He nearly wore her out!”

The group stumbled along, loudly reminiscing about Niel’s exploits. Niel, reveling in their flattery, grinned smugly.

“A girl in Ultimate Realm? That’s no challenge,” Niel bragged. “One of these days, I’ll show you how it’s done with someone in Immortal Realm!”

His boast silenced his companions, their expressions shifting from amusement to unease.
